Backed by two decades of experience in consulting, corporate strategy, and restaurant growth, the authors provide actionable insights to navigate this disruption. Meredith Sandland's journey from building 1,000+ restaurants to pioneering kitchen United's digital-first approach, and Carl Orsbourn's success in transforming BP-owned convenience stores into thriving food hubs, underscore the book's practical value.
